Thanks also to its various editors during its long process of completion, Anna Fleming, Colleen Coalter and Margaret Bartley at Bloomsbury. The students on my annual ‘Witchcraft and Magic in Literature’ module have always been a great source of inspiration and new questions, and the visiting students attending the University of Exeter’s international summer school in 2012 were also helpful in allowing me to try out some of this material in a class on ‘Supernatural Shakespeare’ and responding with thoughtfulness and excitement. The journey towards this project began at Exeter with Gareth Roberts’module on ‘Renaissance Magic’and matured during my MA studies at the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon, where Stanley Wells, Martin Wiggins and Susan Brock were particularly helpful in allowing me to begin exploring Shakespeare’s interest in witchcraft.  \nJo’s Acknowledgements  \nFor enabling me to work on Shakespeare’s Demonology, I would like to thank the editors at Bloomsbury – and Marion Gibson, for inviting me to do so. In both her role as my PhD supervisor, and as co-researcher on this project, Marion has provided consistent encouragement, inspiration and support, and I am deeply indebted to her.
